Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Hell's Gate National Park, Lake Road South South of Lake Naivasha, Naivasha 20117 Kenya

Begin with 7am pickup in Nairobi, then travel to Lake Naivasha and Hell’s Gate National Park, with a break to get views of the Great Rift Valley from a scenic overlook along the way. Upon arriving in the park at roughly 9am, begin a 2-hour, guided bike tour: watch for herds of Thompson’s gazelle, eland, zebra, and hartebeest as you ride. Keep an eye on the sky throughout the tour, as Hell’s Gate National Park is home to more than 100 species of birds, including Verreaux’s eagles, augur buzzards, vulture, and swifts.

Continue on foot into the park’s distinctive gorges, where narrow passageways and caves are sunk into sedimentary rock. After a 1-hour walk, stop by a local Maasai community to learn about traditional life and customs in the Great Rift Valley, then head to Naivasha Fisherman’s camp for lunch (own expense).


Duration: 4 hours

Stop At: Lake Naivasha, Naivasha Road Nakuru County, 20117 Kenya

For an additional fee of $25 per person, you can explore Lake Naivasha wildlife on a 1-hour boat tour. Spot the hippos that linger just at the surface of the water, and see some of the diverse birdlife; African fish eagles, lesser flamingos, African spoonbill, and little grebe are all common here. At 4pm, begin the return trip to Nairobi, and finish the day with drop-off in Nairobi at roughly 6pm.

Excellent trip. The driver Stephen was delightful. Gadaffi was the Hell’s Gate guide and was fun. Lots of animal sightings in the park. The boat ride on Lake Naivasha was perfect to relax and cool off after the bike ride. I am a woman traveling solo and felt completely safe the whole time.

Great experience and fantastic personal service. Hats off to Beast Tours for setting this up and executing so well. Bike Safari is truly a unique experience. The boat ride (optional extra) is a must have.

The trip was amazing. The tour guide took us on a cycling trip to the stunning hells gate. He is knowledgable about the plants, rock formations, and animals. We also went into the gorge, which was beautiful. The day ended with a very relaxing boat ride on lake naivasha. The driver and guide created a very nice, friendly, and safe vibe. Booking this tour was very easy. The tour company got back to my questions very fast.

Jaffar and our driver are friendly and trying to give you a great experience. Riding bikes while seeing wildlife was exiting. Boat tour should not be a miss.

An absolutely amazing day with Jaffar & our driver Mr Kazungu. Our pickup was perfectly on time as planned. When we arrived at Hells Gate, Jaffar ensured we were happy with our chosen bicycles. The ride through the park was great, we learnt alot & saw lots of different animals. The hike into the gorge was slighty tricky in parts but well worth it for what we experienced when we reached the gorge floor. Masai John joined us for the gorge & was also a great guide. We did have a heavy rain shower enroute back to the park gate but we managed to shelter in one of the huts. Lunch was great & the skies cleared for our boat ride on Lake Naivasha. Again, lots of wildlife on offer on & off the water. The day ended with a flawless dropoff at our hotel. All in all, as I opened this review with….. an absolutely amazing day! Thanks again
